The Beardog recuperative suite
We are living very en famille for a bit. The idea is to keep Bear’s activity to a minimum for the first week and maybe two. The easiest way to do that is to decrease the accessible space and remove all furniture. I know…the bed…my bed so far and no, I am not sure how long it will remain mine.
We’ve been out for the necessaries this morning…in an inch of new snow with more forecast – Rats! But all went well with no slipping or sliding.
The black thing with handles that Bear is lying on is a Gingerlead. It allows me to provide partial to full support for Bear’s back end while keeping control AND maintaining a solid and comfortable upright position myself. I definitely do not want to stumble into or onto Bear! The sling is padded, lined with a cushy soft corduroy and has a padded handle for the person also. I highly recommend. Bear and I practiced with it off and on before the surgery so it was not a strange thing. He was a bit out of it yesterday when we left the clinic but this morning when I got it to help him up, he wagged his tail and immediately sat.
He is a bit more Bear this morning but I think it will be a quiet day here in the Beardog recuperative suite.
